1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have recently been identified as having potentially therapeutic immunomodulatory properties. MSCs isolated from different oral tissues have similar morphology and immunophenotypes, however, direct comparisons of their gene expression and immunomodulatory properties have not been conducted. We isolated alveolar bone-derived MSCs (aBMSCs), dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and gingiva-derived MSCs (GMSCs) from the same patients and compared their immunophenotypes and transcriptomes. Additionally, we compared their production of soluble immunomodulatory cytokines as well as their immunoregulatory properties in coculture with THP-1 human monocytic cells. RNA sequencing revealed distinct gene expression in DPSCs while aBMSCs and GMSCs had less differentially expressed genes. DPSCs also had significantly less secretion of osteopontin compared to aBMSCs and GMSCs. Finally, DPSCs did not exhibit an immunosuppresive effect on THP-1 cells to the same degree as aBMSCs and GMSCs. These findings demonstrate that MSCs from different oral tissues have distinct transcriptomes and immunoregulatory properties.
